The Zamfara State House of
Assembly, on Tuesday, suspended two lawmakers over their alleged ties to
bandits who have been wreaking havoc in most parts of the State.
The suspended lawmakers include,
Ibrahim T. Tukur representing Bakura constituency and Yusuf Muhammad, Anka
representing Anka Constituency. They were issued three months suspension,
respectively.
Mustapha Jafaru Kaura, the
Director General Press Affairs and Public Relations of the Assembly, told
newsmen that the move was to enable the Assembly conduct proper investigation
into the allegations leveled against them.
“They are also to appear before
the House Committee on ethics and privileges in conjunction with security
agencies that are assigned by law to investigate them.
“These are part of the
resolutions reached just now at the House plenary presided over by the Speaker
of the House, Rt Hon Nasiru Mu’azu Magarya under matters of urgent public
importance,” Kaura said.
Hon Yusuf Alhassan Kanoma, member
representing Maru North subsequently told the Assembly during plenary that the
house should ensure that the allegations were properly investigated.
He further told his colleagues
that during the kidnap saga of the father of the Speaker, late Alhaji Mu’azu
Abubakar Magarya in particular, Yusuf Muhammad Anka and Ibrahim T Tukur Bakura
were said to have been jubilating over the issue.
